Turtle Cove Farm 2.0

Well, we made it!  Actually, we’ve been in North Dakota for a couple of weeks, but it’s been a little chaotic…

The boys and I spent a leisurely week driving from Florida to North Dakota.  The weather was with us most of the way, but there was some white knuckled driving through Iowa and South Dakota.  Yay, freezing rain!

Traveling in Style

All in all, everyone did great on the trip, although I think the cats have just started to forgive me for stuffing them into pet carriers every day.

Living in the Past

When we got to North Dakota, we moved into my parents’ farm house, the one my uncle lived in for twenty years and never cleaned…  I spend every day scrubbing walls, cupboards, and closets, just trying to clear out some living space and places to put our stuff.  It can be overwhelming, but I find myself smiling all day long.

I’m planning a grand e-opening of the shop on March 15.  Until then, I’ll be scrubbing and organizing, listening with wonder to the hooting of owls and coyote calls and losing myself in the breath taking night sky of the Great Plains.
